Enchenreuth Office

The Enchenreuth Office (originally Radeck Office ) was an office of the Bamberg Monastery .

Office of Radeck

The origin of the rule in the official area was Radeck Castle , the family seat of the Lords of Radeck. The origins of the rule are not documented, the castle and property fell into the possession of the Bamberg Monastery in the 14th century. In Bishop Urbar of by 1323/28 it is not mentioned in the Episcopal Urbar of 1348 the Office Radeck but contained. Accordingly, it will have fallen to Bamberg during this time.

In 1348 Hans von Waldenfels was named as the first "Castellanus" ( burgrave ) von Radeck. In 1373 the bishopric lost the office for a short time due to a feud between Bishop Lamprecht of Bamberg and the Landgrave of Thuringia , but got it back in 1378. The bailiffs at that time were the brothers Albrecht and Eberhard von Waldenfels . In 1392 Fritz von Redwitz was named as a bailiff. Since 1489 Philipp von Guttenberg was the last aristocratic bailiff to own the Radeck office. Since the beginning of the 16th century, a bailiff took the Bamberg rights. At the same time, the office was moved to Enchenreuth (today a district of Helmbrechts ), and since then the name "Office Enchenreuth" has been used.

Enchenreuth Office

The Bamberg central court claims were disputed in 1514 by the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth . The margravial bailiwick of Schauenstein claimed high jurisdiction over the official places that parish to Schauenstein . These were Hohentann (desert), Schönwald, Döbra, Pillmersreuth, Haidengrün, Poppengrün and Thron. The places Rodeck and Hohenzorn were not affected. In the Forchheim Treaty of 1538, Bishop Weigand von Redwitz and Margrave Georg agreed that the bishopric was entitled to high jurisdiction. This conflict was of particular religious significance: the parishes in question belonged to the Protestant parish of Döbra, which was also looked after by the deacon von Schauenstein, while the bishopric itself was Catholic.

Conversely, the villages of Unterbrumberg , Oberbrumberg , Bischofsmühle, Schnebes , Buckenreuth and the district of Enchenreuth belonged to the Catholic parish of Enchenreuth, but not to the office.

At the end of the HRR there were 54 bailiwick offices in the Bamberg monastery, headed by a bailiff . The tasks of these bailiwick offices were both administrative tasks and the exercise of the lower jurisdiction . The Enchenreuth office was one of these 54 bailiwick offices. It was also the tax office, so it was responsible for collecting taxes. The administration of the chamber goods and fiefdoms was carried out by caste offices. The Enchenreuth office was not a caste office, this function was performed in the official area by the Stadtsteinach caste office .
